8 November Lyrics: Paradise by the Dashboard Light

[Meatloaf:]I remember every little thingAs if it happened only yesterdayParking by the lakeAnd there was not another car in sightAnd I never had a girlLooking any better than you didAnd all the kids at schoolThey were wishing they were me that night

And now our bodies are oh so close and tightIt never felt so good, it never felt so rightAnd we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knifeGlowing like the metal on the edge of a knifeC'mon, hold on tightC'mon, hold on tight

Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark nightI can see paradise by the dashboard light

[Carla:]Ain't no doubt about it we were doubly blessed'Cause we were barely seventeenAnd we were barely dressed

[Both:]Ain't no doubt about itBaby got to go out and shout itAin't no doubt about itWe were doubly blessed

[Meatloaf:]'Cause we were barely seventeenAnd we were barely dressed

Baby don'tcha hear my heartYou got it drowing out the radioI've been waiting so longFor you to come along and have some funAnd I gotta let you knowNo you're never gonna regret itSo open up your eyes, I got a big surpriseIt'll feel all rightWell I wanna make you motor run

And now our bodies are oh so close and tightIt never felt so good, it never felt so rightAnd we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knifeGlowing like the metal on the edge of a knifeC'mon, Hold on tightC'mon, Hold on tight

[Both:]Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark nightI can see paradise by the dashboard lightParadise by the dashboard light

You got to do what you canAnd let Mother Nature do the restAin't no doubt about itWe were doubly blessed'Cause we were barely seventeenAnd we were barely

We're gonna go all the way tonightWe're gonna go all the wayAnd tonight's the night

[Radio Broadcast:]OK, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker going hereTwo down, nobody on, no score, bottom of the ninthThere's the wind-up, and there it isA line shot up the middle, look at him goThis boy can really fly!He's rounding first and really turning it on nowHe's not letting up at all, he's gonna try for secondThe ball is bobbled out in the centerAnd here's the throw and what a throw!He's gonna slide in head firstHere he comes, he's outNo, wait, safe, safe at second baseThis kid really makes things happen out thereBatter steps up to the plateHere's the pitch, he's goingAnd what a jump he's gotHe's trying for thirdHere's the throwIt's in the dirt, safe a thirdHoly cow, stolen baseHe's taking a pretty big lead out thereAlmost daring them to pick him offThe pitcher glances over, winds-up and it's buntedBunted down the third base lineThe suicide squeeze is onHere he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be closeHere's the throw, here's the play at the plateHoly cow, I think he's gonna make it---

[Carla:]Stop right thereI gotta know right nowBefore we go any further

Do you love meWill you love me foreverDo you need meWill you make me so happyFor the rest of my lifeWill you take me awayAnd will you make me your wifeDo you love meWill you love me foreverDo you need meWill you make me so happyFor the rest of my lifeWill you take me awayAnd will you make me your wife

I gotta know right nowBefore we go any furtherDo you love meWill you love me forever

[Meatloaf:]Let me sleep on itBaby, baby let me sleep on itLet me sleep on itAnd I'll give you an answer in the morning

Let me sleep on itBaby, baby let me sleep on itLet me sleep on itAnd I'll give you an answer in the morning

Let me sleep on itBaby, baby let me sleep on itLet me sleep on itAnd I'll give you an answer in the morning

[Carla:]I gotta know right nowDo you love meWill you love me foreverDo you need meWill you make me so happyFor the rest of my lifeWill you take me awayAnd will you make me your wifeI gotta know right nowBefore we go any furtherDo you love meAnd will you love me forever

[Meatloaf:]Let me sleep on itBaby, baby let me sleep on itLet me sleep on itAnd I'll give you an answer in the morningLet me sleep on it

[Carla:]Will you love me forever

[Meatloaf:]Let me sleep on it

[Carla:]Will you love me forever

[Meatloaf:]I couldn't take it any longerLord I was crazedAnd when the feeling came upon meLike a tidal waveI started swearing to my godAnd on my mother's graveThat I would love you to the end of timeI swore I would love you to the end of time

So now I'm praying for the end of timeTo hurry up and arrive'Cause if I gotta spend another minute with youI don't think that I can really surviveI'll never break my promise or forget my vowBut God only knows what I can do right nowI'm praying for the end of timeSo I can end my time with you

[Meatloaf:]It was long ago and it was far away,And it was so much better than it is today.

[Carla:]It never felt so good, It never felt so rightAnd we were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife.

Once in a Decade

About Me

As of 19 May 2015, I'm a 47-year-old woman married for 25 years, living the children-free life I always wanted, and a charmed life. I was the Human Resources Manager for Baltusrol Golf Club built in 1895 in Springfield, N.J.. When I was not at my paid job I was a volunteer Emergency Medical Technician with the Parsippany Rockaway Neck First Aid Squad in Parsippany/Lake Hiawatha. Now I am an Auxiliary Member with the squad and involved in the committees and Executive Board. I'm currently retired.

I love to read, write, communicate with people, blog, lay in my hammock, spend time with Luis, and study various sciences. I'm a fantasy artist, as well. I love warm autumn days the best (although this summer really has been quite lovely). I love seeing the planets and stars at night. Give me science anytime! The reason for blogging and Facebook? LEARNING! I always learn something new.

Being on disability is not easy, but I can honestly say it would be a hell of a lot harder if the Internet as it is (and constantly grows) wasn't around. At least I can stay connected with the world in some fashion.
